Abstract:

Human health, well-being, and comfort correlate directly with an interior environment. As a result, indoor climate control and monitoring are commonplace in a variety of settings, including homes and public buildings. Our prior studies have demonstrated that an active talking plant pot system may efficiently lower particulate matter and volatile organic compound concentrations while stabilising carbon dioxide levels in an indoor setting. The real-time monitoring of plant health has gained significant attention related to the indoor environment. In this study, we have proposed a system with Wi-Fi & mobile application to monitor pot plant health using in the indoor environment. We have developed customised hardware with multiple sensors and communication protocols to realise the proposed system. Further, this hardware is deployed in the plant pot with sensors to log sensor values on cloud server-based web and mobile applications. This study is used to propose a system for monitoring the health of plants and indoor climates. This also helps those who do not have time to water the plant also.
